model with a secluded sector, where the tension between the electroweak scale and developing a large enough mass for $$Z^{\prime }$$

is resolved by incorporating three additional singlet superfields into the model. We perform a detailed analysis of the production, followed by decays, including into supersymmetric particles, of a $$Z^{\prime }$$

boson with mass between 4 and 5.2 TeV, with particular emphasis on its possible discovery. We select three different scenarios consistent with the latest available experimental data and relic density constraints, and concentrate on final signals with $$2\ell +\not \! \! E_{T}$$
